How the Operation Broken Fang Case drops and opens

The weekly drop for Operation Broken Fang Case, first sold Oct 14, 2020, ended when it moved to the rare pool; fresh copies are now scarce and the market recycles existing stock — currently from $6.04 across 29 marketplaces. Scarcity has historically pushed retired cases upward over time — the drop-pool registry records when each rotation happened. Drop-pool registry →

The key comes only from the in-game store at $2.49 (untradable since 2019), while the case itself is normally cheaper bought on a marketplace than farmed as a drop. Per opening the expected return is $4.49 on a $9.08 spend — roughly 49% back before fees. Buying a specific skin outright beats opening for it; every tile above links to prices.

From this page's data: 41 items priced live, the 9-day median case price moved -2%, Steam volume holds near 22 cases sold per day. All prices recompute with every data snapshot.

Operation Broken Fang Case questions

What is inside the Operation Broken Fang Case?

17 community finishes from Mil-Spec to Covert, topped by M4A1-S (Printstream) and Glock-18 (Neo-Noir), plus a rare special slot: 24 glove variants across 6 models. The full priced list is above on this page.

What are the rare special odds?

0.26% per opening, about 1 per 385 openings on average. At $9.08 per opening the average path to the rare slot costs roughly $3,495.80.

How much is the key?

$2.49 in the in-game store. Keys cannot be bought on the market or traded: the price is the same for everyone.

Is the Operation Broken Fang Case worth opening?

Not by the math: each $9.08 opening returns $4.49 on average, so about 49% of the money comes back. Open for fun, buy skins directly.

Will the Operation Broken Fang Case be discontinued?

It already rotated out of the active pool (rare pool as of our Apr 12, 2026 registry snapshot). It still drops rarely — cases never leave the game entirely. Drop-pool registry →

How do I get one without opening it?

Buying it is the practical route — from $6.04 across the markets in the table above. It no longer drops weekly.

Is opening cases legal in my country?

Loot-box rules differ by country: Belgium treats paid loot boxes as gambling and Valve disabled case opening there, while several other countries require odds disclosure or age gates. If opening is restricted where you live, buying items directly stays available. Responsible trading guide →
